Yep looks like he is gone. I hope his kids don't grow up to be like this thief. I realize the world can be tough but stooping to level of conning people out if their money to try and make a quick buck is pretty low.

Well unfortunately I'm out $100. I can only hope it went to a good cause and anyone that observes how the "owner" of this project handles himself learns to not steal from those that place their trust in his ability. One can only wonder when responsibility stopped being taught to kids.

just looked as i do occasionally at modest magic web page to see if there is any type of change there and no it appears it has been abandoned so that's not a promising sight i have yet to hear anything and i have tried numerous times a little communication would be nice

My terrain needs have been satisfied by other products by this point. Between Dwarven Forge, Dungeonstone, World Works Games I think I can give up on this one. If the creator has the ability to issue one, a refund would be appreciated. At this point, I'm only out the $35 so it doesn't much matter.

I have even attempted to contact Nicholas through his website to see about the possibility of purchasing something in addition to help speed up the process. I figure he may have blown through his capital and maybe a bit more might salvage something. I did not even receive a response. Much like the rest of this Kickstarter, there is zero communication. Let's face it, those of us that have received nothing have been ripped off. I doubt there are any legal options, but does anyone know for sure?

Wow. I'm amazed people are still waiting. 700 days for a couple hundred castles, what did we help him get a machine for if it's not being used to make castles. I mean, I paid extra cash to get mine, but knowing people are still hanging is pretty damn disappointing. I don't think I'll ever understand the math behind this one.

That's exactly what I did as well, Daniel. It's obvious that the creator here underestimated some of the costs involved, so communicating with him and buying something else gives him the funds to cut your foam and get it shipped.
Doesn't excuse things, of course, but it was the solution that worked for me.
Glad to hear you got yours, Bradley! I think we just kind of snapped the parts out of the frames, and then clean up the edge if necessary.

Just for kicks, anyone hear ANYTHING about shipments? This has kickstarter had become the center piece for my wife as to why some kickstarters need more research and planning before attempting to raise funds.

Ahh it totally is! Sorry man! I just got your personal message and I'll respond to that but I wanted to post a note letting everyone know there will be an update tomorrow. Things have been really rockin around here! :-)

Also Nick, a question- in this picture in particular, you can see on the very left side of the picture that there is a walkway ending in a stair... and it doesn't look to me like we're doing it right. I couldn't figure out any other way to make the walkway end in a stair, though. Can you glance at it and see if we're doing anything wrong with that?

Hey guys,
Check out some pics on my local game store's efforts to get the Alien City terrain which I donated to the store together:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-9594-34775_Modest%20Magic%20Terrain.htmlWe just did worked on that this evening, but had something like 20 people helping out at various times! We're coating it in "Jaxsan", which is what our local terrain guy swears buy to make foam tougher (and to texture it, we might paint this as ruins / relics). A lot of work is ahead of us but I just wanted to post the progress! I felt so guilty having this for a while without having been able to work on it, but it's a big job and many hands makes less work!

I received my package over the weekend, and have spend a lot of the weekend removing the pieces from the sprues. It is a bit of a shame that the foam used wasn't blue, would have gone well with me watching Breaking Bad over again from Season 1 this weekend to be covered in blue instead of pink dust all weekend.

It is a very large amount of terrain. Seeing it first hand really drives this point home. Wife is looking forward to playing with it, too, now. May leave some of it unpainted so she can have a girl keep.

Thanks Kevin, I tend to forget to post on here as well as answering questions individually. You are correct about the tracking. I usually get email about a week before I ship to let the person know to expect the package and make sure that there haven't been any address changes or things like that.

Latest update indicates that castles are about 50% shipped. My understanding is Nick emails before the package ships with some kind of tracking information. I have not received mine yet. When I do, I will confirm as much of this as I can.
